You're like the Shermanator, sorry bad joke.

You have some amazing Sherman builds, love the fury tanks! My Sherman is one of my favorite RCs mainly because of the track design. I have found it nearly impossible to throw a track on it.

I agree, the Sherman's a cracking little model. All my Fury tanks are set up as battlers and they run without any issues..

It's funny how one thing can lead to another ----thanks to you and your project, I wanted to refresh my memory of what I knew about the Sherman BARV. I didn't know that there was a conversion done to a Centurion BARV FV 4018! Now I want to get my Centurion off of the shelf to see if I could remove the top to handle an interchangeable BARV rig.
